Merkle Meet 2026 Paris Hosted by Merkle Science
Merkle Meet comes to Paris for a focused, practitioner-led program on the operational reality of crypto compliance, supervision readiness, and investigations in 2026—hosted at the Paris offices of Norton Rose Fulbright and timed alongside Paris Blockchain Week.
Merkle Meet Paris 2026 - Agenda
This edition is designed for compliance leaders, policy and legal teams, risk owners, investigators, and digital asset operators who need to translate fast-moving regulatory expectations into controls that work in production. Across panels and product workshops, the agenda centers on execution: where firms are encountering friction, what supervisors are testing first, and how teams are modernizing monitoring and response to keep pace with cross-chain, machine-speed financial crime. The event is in partnership with Utila, the leading digital asset infrastructure platform.
What we will cover
MiCA grandfathering ends and what “operational readiness for supervision” looks like in practice across uneven national timelines
MiCA vs. the U.S. GENIUS Act: building and maintaining cross-border crypto compliance when licensing, stablecoin distribution, and enforcement exposure diverge
Tokenization and on-chain capital markets: how regulated assets and money rails (stablecoins and tokenized deposits) are being deployed beyond pilots
How AI is being applied in real compliance workflows, including supervisory expectations around accountability and explainability
Crypto crime in 2026: incident response and asset recovery under compressed timelines, with more automated laundering patterns
Hands-on sessions: live stablecoin monitoring, AI-driven compliance workflows, and Tracker training using a “pig butchering” case study
